Firearms components Superior manufacturing with near-net-shaped machining blanks The impact process offers many advantages over other metal-forming processes, but the two most impactful are lower costs and accelerated production. Many components that are typically fully machined can be produced more cost-effectively by first creating a near-net shape through our impact extrusion process. In addition, impacting naturally work-hardens non-heat-treatable alloys. ▪ Reduces material requirements ▪ Reduces machining time 50% ▪ Minimizes tooling time, cost ▪ Highly uniform grain alignment ▪ Stronger, denser components Learn more at: thunderbird-metals.com
